Fixes item 1 of #9143: with the local mirror's scrollback pegged at its cap, a scrolled-up viewport was pushed down over newer content as output streamed, both while idle and mid-gesture.

Every row a screen-anchored delta pushes through the grid either grows the local row space (below the cap) or evicts a retained row from the top (at the cap). Two paths only accounted for growth:

  • The verified-replay anchor restore canceled growth but preserved distance-from-bottom at the cap, so each replay restored the viewport scrolledRows lower in content space. Observed in the issue as lines 4,354,666 → 4,362,346 at one offset over a 20s hold.
  • Mid-gesture, eviction bumps row_space_revision, the held pixel-scroll position fails the revision gate, and the batch rebased from the live viewport that a full replay's alternate-screen roundtrip had just reset to the bottom.

The fix keeps a per-surface cumulative counter of rows pushed into local scrollback, incremented on the serial output queue as each chunk's scroll prologue applies (frame.scrolledRows), so counter reads by anchor capture/restore and pixel batches on the same queue are exactly ordered against the pushes they account for. Anchor restores now subtract max(growth, pushedSinceCapture); a revision-mismatched held gesture position is rebased by the same arithmetic through the pure LocalPixelScrollState.rebasedHeldPositionPx decision. Rebuilt row spaces (hydration collapse) and rewound counters are detected and keep the previous growth-canceled fallback, since local push accounting cannot place content in a rebuilt space; content-true anchoring across hydration still needs the producer-side counter tracked in the issue.

This is a principled fix: it reconstructs the producer's monotonic scrolled-rows counter client-side (the approach the issue proposed) rather than patching a symptom. Residual risk: windows that span a hydrating full keep today's distance-from-bottom behavior.

Commit 1 adds the failing tests plus the inert API they compile against (stubs preserve old behavior so the new expectations are red); commit 2 adds the fix. The hosted iOS simulator tests lane cannot prove this right now: it is red on current main before any test runs (cmuxFeatureTests/MobileIrohRuntimeComposition*Tests no longer conform to the current broker protocols, and package-conventions-lint has 43 pre-existing violations). Red/green was instead proven on a leased fleet Mac (cmux-app-review-mac, iPhone 17 / iOS 26.3 simulator, xcodebuild test scoped to the CmuxMobileTerminal package): commit 1 (2107bda) fails with 7 issues, all of them the new content-true expectations; commit 2 (6fca0a3) passes the full Test run with 21 tests in 2 suites. This branch adds zero lint violations (43 before and after; the new lock and helper are annotated/scoped per convention).

Builds of this branch also need #11187 (main's macOS compile is broken by an unrelated bonsplit pin revert); the tagged dogfood build uses a throwaway ctru-build branch = this head + that pin bump.

HIG: scroll views must keep content stable under the user's finger and not move it unexpectedly while new content arrives (https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/scroll-views).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change tracks cumulative local scrollback pushes during output processing. Verified replay anchors and held pixel-scroll positions use this count to preserve content-relative positions across scrollback growth, eviction, and row-space changes.

Held pixel-scroll positions retain their content-relative location across revision changes. The helper validates state, subtracts evicted-row height, and clamps at the scrollback top.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6fca0

The PR keeps scrolled-up content stable during capped scrollback eviction, but row-space changes caused by reflow or erase may still place a held gesture or restored viewport at the wrong content position. This is a bounded iOS scrolling correctness risk requiring owner awareness before merge.

Full details: Cmux Swift Actor Isolation

Explanation

PASS. The production diff adds no actor-isolation failure covered by the rule. The new shared mutable counter uses OSAllocatedUnfairLock, is declared nonisolated, and has a documented lock-safety rationale. Background outputQueue closures access only the lock and value snapshots; UI state returns through existing @MainActor tasks. LocalPixelScrollState is already explicitly nonisolated, so its pure rebasing helper is not MainActor-bound. VerifiedReplayViewportAnchor remains a top-level Sendable value model, and the package has Swift 6 mode without a MainActor default-isolation setting. No service protocol or UI-bound store gained background access, and the changed tests are exempt.

Full details: Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime

Explanation

The PR adds a production manual lock: OSAllocatedUnfairLock&lt;UInt64&gt; for localScrollbackRowsPushed in GhosttySurfaceView.swift, with new withLock reads and writes in output, verified-replay, and pixel-scroll paths. These paths already execute on the serial GhosttySurfaceWorkQueue, which owns ghostty_surface_process_output and the related scrollbar operations. The diff does not document why an actor or queue-owned state cannot own this counter; its lint:allow lock comments only describe sharing and repeat the existing lock discipline. No new sleep or delayed-dispatch primitive was found.

Resolution

Remove the new OSAllocatedUnfairLock counter. Store the counter in the serial GhosttySurfaceWorkQueue or propagate its value through the queue's ordered operations, so increments and reads use the existing queue serialization without a manual lock. Keep the counter value with each captured/applied state as needed for rebasing.

Full details: Cmux Browser Automation Off-Main

Explanation

PASS: The patch changes only eight iOS terminal/shell files and tests. It does not change Sources/TerminalController.swift, the socket-worker policy, or policy tests. The added/removed diff contains no browser.*, WebKit wait, socket-worker routing, or AppKit browser automation changes. The custom check is therefore inapplicable.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

PASS: The PR does not add or move an expensive agent-history load. The production diff only adds scrollback-counter accounting and terminal scroll/replay logic. Searches of all changed production Swift files found no RestorableAgentSessionIndex, agent-store, transcript, trajectory, JSON parsing, directory scan, or per-record syscall usage. ghostty_surface_process_output remains on the existing serial background outputQueue, with only UI state updates returning to the main actor.

Full details: Cmux Cache Substitution Correctness

Explanation

PASS — the production diff does not replace a fresh authoritative read with a cache in a persistence, history, undo, or snapshot path. captureVerifiedReplayViewportAnchor and restore still read ghostty_surface_scrollbar on the serial queue. The new counter is supplementary event-driven state: it increments after each output applies, with queue ordering shared by capture, restore, and pixel-scroll reads. It has a cold default of zero when no source frame exists, and the code handles rewound counters and rebuilt/shrunk row spaces. The diff contains no persistence or undo consumer.

Full details: Cmux No Hacky Sleeps

Explanation

PASS: The full PR range from origin/main to HEAD changes only .swift files. It contains no TypeScript, JavaScript, shell, or build/runtime script changes. Therefore this non-Swift sleep check is not applicable. Swift blocking behavior is covered by the separate Swift check.

Full details: Cmux Algorithmic Complexity

Explanation

PASS. The PR adds only constant-time arithmetic and lock reads for the push counter and anchor rebasing. The pixel-scroll retry remains a fixed for _ in 0..&lt;2 loop, which is bounded independently of user data. No new scalable-collection scan, nested scan, sort, filter, join, or per-target rescan appears in the production diff. The existing latencySamples.sorted() and related scans in GhosttySurfaceView.swift are unchanged, so they are pre-existing debt and not worsened by this PR.

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

PASS. The PR diff adds no new DispatchQueue, DispatchGroup, fire-and-forget Task, Combine, continuation, or completion-handler pattern. Existing GhosttySurfaceWorkQueue usage and main-actor callback hops remain unchanged. The changed processOutput API only adds a row-counter parameter; its existing completion bridge remains. New code only reads and updates the lock-protected counter inside already ordered surface-queue work, plus pure helper and tests. No explicit concurrency-modernization failure was introduced or materially expanded.

Full details: Cmux Swift `@Concurrent`

Explanation

PASS: The full pull request adds no nonisolated async function and no @concurrent annotation. The new rebasedHeldPositionPx helper and the changed applyPixelScrollBatch helper are synchronous and nonisolated, which the rule allows. The changed async APIs remain actor-bound coordination methods: processOutputAndWait enqueues terminal processing on outputQueue, and the verified-replay methods enqueue Ghostty work on workQueue before returning to @MainActor. The two changed call sites only pass a row-count value to the existing async API. No invalid annotation or missing actor hop is introduced.

Full details: Cmux Swift Package Boundaries

Explanation

PASS. The production diff stays behind existing SwiftPM boundaries: the terminal logic is in Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileTerminal, whose Package.swift defines the CmuxMobileTerminal library target and CmuxMobileTerminalTests; the shell change is in Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileShellUI. The new LocalPixelScrollHeldRebase and updated VerifiedReplayViewportAnchor logic are tested within CmuxMobileTerminal, not kept in the app target. The remaining changes are Ghostty/UIView integration glue, which the rule allows. No changed production file is under the app module's root Sources path, and no new cross-surface domain logic lacks a package boundary.

Full details: Cmux Swiftpm Lockfiles

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only iOS Swift source and test files. It does not change any Package.swift, Package.resolved, .gitignore, workflow, or Xcode project/package-reference file. The package and root Xcode lockfiles are unchanged, and tracked cmux package .gitignore files do not ignore Package.resolved. The SwiftPM lockfile policy is therefore not violated.

Full details: Cmux Swift Logging

Explanation

PASS. The PR adds no print, debugPrint, dump, NSLog, Logger, stdout, or ad hoc file-logging calls. It only changes an existing MobileDebugLog.anchormux diagnostic by adding the numeric pushed field. anchormux is implemented under #if DEBUG and routes through the existing cmux debug log. The added values are scroll metrics and do not expose secrets or personal data.

Full details: Cmux User-Facing Error Privacy

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes scrollback and viewport state handling. It does not add or modify user-facing errors, alerts, command output, API error bodies, or recovery copy. The only added text is source documentation/comments and a MobileDebugLog.anchormux diagnostic line. That logger is DEBUG-only and writes internal diagnostics, which the rule allows.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes only iOS terminal scroll-state and viewport-anchor logic, plus tests. Added production text is limited to comments and a MobileDebugLog.anchormux diagnostic string; that logger is compiled under #if DEBUG. No Swift UI copy, localization catalog, Info.plist, web message, metadata, markdown, or changelog file changed. The internationalization failure conditions are therefore not triggered.

Full details: Cmux Swiftui State Layout

Explanation

PASS. The complete PR diff adds no ObservableObject, @Published, @StateObject, @EnvironmentObject, GeometryReader, lazy/list row store references, or render-time SwiftUI state writes. The only SwiftUI-facing change updates two processOutputAndWait arguments inside the existing UIViewRepresentable bridge. The other changes are UIKit surface, pure helper, and test logic. Existing Task and state handling were not introduced by this diff.

Full details: Cmux Architecture Rethink

Explanation

The PR introduces a lock-protected cross-generation side channel instead of keeping row-space state with its owner. GhosttySurfaceView.localScrollbackRowsPushed is a new OSAllocatedUnfairLock&lt;UInt64&gt;. processOutput increments it, while replay-anchor and pixel-scroll paths read it separately. GhosttySurfaceWorkQueue states that all mutable queue state is queue-owned and that recovery replaces the queue, but the new counter is stored on the view and resetScrollStateForSurfaceReplacement does not reset it. Recovery can therefore leave old-generation output updating the counter used by a new-generation surface. This makes invalid rebase state representable and matches the rule's explicit failure conditions for locks and mutable side channels used around shared-state races. The PR does document the intended invariant and adds pure tests, but the state owner remains split.

Resolution

Move the cumulative push counter into the generation-owned GhosttySurfaceWorkQueue or another single serial surface-state owner. Increment and snapshot it only on that queue, and include the generation with every anchor or pixel-scroll operation. Replacing the queue must create a fresh counter so old queued work cannot update the new surface's row-space state. Route both output paths through one shared output-application helper that accepts the chunk's push metadata, then have anchor capture, restore, and pixel rebasing consume the queue-owned snapshot instead of a view-level lock.

Full details: Cmux Swift Auxiliary Window Close Shortcuts

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes terminal scrollback accounting, replay viewport anchors, and pixel-scroll state. The full diff from origin/main adds or changes no NSWindow, NSPanel, NSWindowController, SwiftUI Window, WindowGroup, close-shortcut routing, or auxiliary-window identifier code. The deterministic checker also passes: scripts/lint_auxiliary_window_close_shortcuts.py reports all 36 identifiers valid.

Full details: Cmux Source Artifacts

Explanation

All 10 changed paths are Swift source or test files under the expected Packages/iOS Sources and Tests locations. The diff adds no artifact-like paths, binary files, logs, screenshots, recordings, caches, temporary directories, build output, or package-manager downloads. The new files have normal source/test modes, and git diff --check reports no issues.

Full details: Cmux No Test Or Debug Seam In Production Source

Explanation

The PR worsens a test/debug seam in Packages/iOS/CmuxMobileTerminal/Sources/CmuxMobileTerminal/GhosttySurfaceView.swift. It changes the #if DEBUG member debugLastPixelScroll from a five-field tuple to one that exposes the new rowsPushed internal state. The member has no production caller; repository search found only its declaration. This is a changed debug-only state accessor in a production Sources/ file, not a real product behavior. The other new helper has a production caller and is not the failing seam.

Resolution

Remove the #if DEBUG debugLastPixelScroll wrapper from GhosttySurfaceView.swift. If tests need the state, keep the underlying declaration internal and read it from the test target through @testable import (widen private to internal only where required). If a debugger facility is genuinely required, move it to a dedicated debug file or folder. Use #6452 as the reference fix.

Full details: Cmux No Ambient Global State

Explanation

No ambient global state was introduced. The new mutable counter is an instance property of GhosttySurfaceView, stored behind OSAllocatedUnfairLock; it is not a file-scope var or singleton. LocalPixelScrollHeldRebase.swift:16-52 adds one pure static helper to the existing, non-empty LocalPixelScrollState value type, not a caseless/empty namespace type or a type whose API is mostly static functions. The other new behavior is in instance methods or the existing VerifiedReplayViewportAnchor value type. The diff adds no new top-level API function, global mutable variable, stub holder, shared/standard/default singleton, or app-delegate state.

The description provides a detailed summary, rationale, implementation scope, residual risk, and test results. However, it omits the required Demo Video, Review Trigger, and Checklist sections from the repository template.

At the local scrollback cap, rows pushed through the grid evict retained rows
from the top while the row-space total stays flat. The verified-replay anchor
restore cancels only total growth, so each restore preserves distance from
bottom and the viewport drifts down over newer content (issue 9143 item 1).
The same drift hits a mid-gesture held pixel-scroll position: eviction bumps
row_space_revision, the held position fails the revision gate, and the batch
rebases from a live viewport a replay just bottom-reset.

Adds failing tests for pushed-rows-aware targetTopRow and for the pure
LocalPixelScrollState.rebasedHeldPositionPx rebase decision, plus the inert
API they compile against (the anchor field, parameter, and stub still
reproduce today's behavior, so CI is red on the new expectations and green on
the existing ones).

Issue: #9143

…the cap

The phone's local mirror caps scrollback, so once a long-lived workspace pegs
the cap every pushed row evicts a retained row from the top while the row-space
total stays flat. Two paths re-applied stale row offsets and dragged a
scrolled-up viewport down over newer content whenever output streamed:

- The verified-replay anchor restore canceled only total growth, so at the cap
  it preserved distance-from-bottom; each replay restored the viewport
  scrolledRows lower in content space (both idle and right after a gesture).
- Mid-gesture, eviction bumps row_space_revision, the held pixel position
  failed the revision gate, and the batch rebased from the live viewport that
  a full replay's alternate-screen roundtrip had just reset to the bottom.

Fix: GhosttySurfaceView keeps a cumulative counter of rows its chunks push
into local scrollback, incremented on the serial output queue as each
screen-anchored delta's scroll prologue applies (frame.scrolledRows), so
counter reads by anchor capture/restore and pixel batches on the same queue
are exactly ordered against the pushes they account for. Anchor restores
subtract max(growth, pushedSinceCapture) - pushes absorbed as growth keep top
offsets stable, the remainder evicted retained rows. A revision-mismatched
held gesture position is rebased the same way through the pure
LocalPixelScrollState.rebasedHeldPositionPx decision instead of falling back
to a bottom-reset live viewport. Rebuilt row spaces (hydration collapse) and
rewound counters are detected and keep today's growth-canceled fallback, since
local push accounting cannot place content in a rebuilt space.

Closes item 1 of #9143.

At the local scrollback cap, rows pushed through the grid evict retained rows
from the top while the row-space total stays flat. The verified-replay anchor
restore cancels only total growth, so each restore preserves distance from
bottom and the viewport drifts down over newer content (issue 9143 item 1).
The same drift hits a mid-gesture held pixel-scroll position: eviction bumps
row_space_revision, the held position fails the revision gate, and the batch
rebases from a live viewport a replay just bottom-reset.

Adds failing tests for pushed-rows-aware targetTopRow and for the pure
LocalPixelScrollState.rebasedHeldPositionPx rebase decision, plus the inert
API they compile against (the anchor field, parameter, and stub still
reproduce today's behavior, so CI is red on the new expectations and green on
the existing ones).

* fix(ios): content-true viewport anchoring while scrollback evicts at the cap

The phone's local mirror caps scrollback, so once a long-lived workspace pegs
the cap every pushed row evicts a retained row from the top while the row-space
total stays flat. Two paths re-applied stale row offsets and dragged a
scrolled-up viewport down over newer content whenever output streamed:

- The verified-replay anchor restore canceled only total growth, so at the cap
  it preserved distance-from-bottom; each replay restored the viewport
  scrolledRows lower in content space (both idle and right after a gesture).
- Mid-gesture, eviction bumps row_space_revision, the held pixel position
  failed the revision gate, and the batch rebased from the live viewport that
  a full replay's alternate-screen roundtrip had just reset to the bottom.

Fix: GhosttySurfaceView keeps a cumulative counter of rows its chunks push
into local scrollback, incremented on the serial output queue as each
screen-anchored delta's scroll prologue applies (frame.scrolledRows), so
counter reads by anchor capture/restore and pixel batches on the same queue
are exactly ordered against the pushes they account for. Anchor restores
subtract max(growth, pushedSinceCapture) - pushes absorbed as growth keep top
offsets stable, the remainder evicted retained rows. A revision-mismatched
held gesture position is rebased the same way through the pure
LocalPixelScrollState.rebasedHeldPositionPx decision instead of falling back
to a bottom-reset live viewport. Rebuilt row spaces (hydration collapse) and
rewound counters are detected and keep today's growth-canceled fallback, since
local push accounting cannot place content in a rebuilt space.

Closes item 1 of manaflow-ai#9143.
